OFFROAD CHALLENGE
PROTOTYPE HITS THE TRACK
The Alpha Eco that we saw at our Sirocco II Offroad Challenge was , obviously , a prototype . It was built on a 6in chassis with ToughRide independent coil suspension . Jimmy was keen to really test out how the van would handle the undulations you ’ d find in offroad conditions , and he tackled the course with enthusiasm . Pleasingly , the Alpha Eco tracked steady and true behind the tow vehicle . This was the first time that Jimmy had towed the van on anything other than bitumen , and he was happy with the results .
Now , because this van was a prototype , it was a little rough around the edges – there were aspects to the van that Jimmy was still fine-tuning . But let ’ s step inside . What does this little rig offer ?
